His Wife (Part 3)

Lord, I lay all my expectations about my marriage at Your cross. I release my husband from the burden of fulfilling me in areas where I should be looking to you. Help me to accept him the way he is and not try to change him. Help me not to want to change him. I realize that in some ways he may never change, but at the same time, I release him to change in ways I never thought he could. I leave any changing that needs to be down in your hands, fully accepting that neither of us are perfect and never will be.

Only You, Lord, are perfect, and I look to you to perfect our marriage. May we be "perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment" (1 Corinthians 1:10). I love you Brandon. Just the way you are.

This is a perfect example of something I love about you Alisha. A lot of people either don't realize how much effort it takes to have a good, solid relationship or they're not willing to do the work. You not only recognize that it takes work but are also committed to doing it. The fact that you care so much speaks volumes to the amount of love and respect you have for Brandon and your relationship. You're a role model, lady. :)
